Slow Food Nation

Is anyone going to Slow Food Nation over Labor Day? Chow is one of thesponsors, but we’re also attending as fans. Can anyone who’s been to a Slow Food event like Terra Madre give an idea of what to expect?

I'm really excited to attend the event and have been telling everyone I know about it. There are so many different, cool things to do/see/taste, I'm having a hard time deciding how to spend my time there. Would love to know how other Chowhounds are planning to tackle the event. Advice needed!

Seems disorganized. If there's a standard grid-style schedule of events to help prospective attendees figure out their itineraries, I can't find it on the Web site.

Alice Waters told the New York Times, "If 60,000 people do come, and we’re all in front of City Hall, and it’s a beautiful night, well, who knows what could happen.” The event in front of City Hall ends at 4pm, and the evening events are elsewhere.
